About
The Sleep Lab at UCLA investigates the biology of sleep and the impact of sleep disorders on health and behavior. Its scientists study the neural mechanisms underlying sleep, circadian rhythms, and dreaming using techniques like EEG, neuroimaging, and behavioral testing. Research spans topics from insomnia and sleep apnea to how sleep affects mood, memory, and immune function. The center also contributes to clinical advancements in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. Its goal is to improve sleep health and understand its role in mental and physical well-being.
